Plans changed a bit this year due to Dad's working schedule, so this year we are hosting Thanksgiving for my family on Thanksgiving Day! I love waking up and cooking/baking with the Macy's Day Parade and Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving Special where Snoopy makes toast and popcorn!
Apps:
bacon wrapped scallops
pumpkin dip w/fresh veggies
Dinner:
spinach cranberry salad
onion soup
Turkey & turkey gravy
cranberry chutney & cranberry from the can
stuffing: cornbread (gluten-free), sausage, onion, apple
creamed onions
green beans
roasted beets & greens
Dessert:
crust-less pumpkin pie
apple crumble
There are some new recipes mixed in (pumpkin dip, stuffing, both desserts) with old favorites this year and some things got changed entirely! (Like the soup!) I will be sure to report back and tell you how it all went down :-)
I'm sorta excited about how the schedule changed things up this year - aside from having 3 Thanksgivings - my tummy is already groaning - I get to see so many friends/family!! That's absolutely my favorite thing about Thanksgiving. Everyone is busy over the summer months and then school starts up - but Thanksgiving is the first BIG holiday of the season and so everyone gets together to celebrate and catch-up. Well, that and the Dog Show after the parade!! How can you not love all those cute faces?! :-)
UPDATE: roasted beets and greens has been switched out for radishes and greens!
